✦ Synopsis
A new method for the synthesis of amidines is presented using N-acetylcysteine as a catalyst. The key advantage of this new method is that it is compatible with a large number of functional groups. It allows the synthesis of amidines in complex molecules containing acid-labile groups, base-labile centers of asymmetry or functional groups sensitive to hydrogenation.

The synthesis of amidines was achieved by the addition of amines to amides that were previously activated with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (triflic anhydride) and pyridine. Various disubstituted and trisubstituted amidines were prepared in yields up to 84%.
